Lamotrigine Milpharm belongs to a group of medicines called anti-
epileptics. It is used to treat two conditions – EPILEPSY and

LAMOTRIGINE MILPHARM TREATS EPILEPSY by blocking the signals in

For adults and children aged 13 years and over, Lamotrigine
Milpharm can be used on its own or with other medicines, to
treat epilepsy. Lamotrigine Milpharm can also be used with
other medicines to treat the seizures that occur with a condition
called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

For children aged between 2 and 12 years, Lamotrigine
Milpharm can be used with other medicines, to treat those
conditions. It can be used on its own to treat a type of epilepsy
called typical absence seizures.

euphoria) alternating with periods of depression (deep sadness or
despair). For adults aged 18 years and over, Lamotrigine Milpharm
